Comfrey root is a traditional English garden herb with old-fashioned charm due to its pretty bell-shaped flowers. Because the root was once carried to ensure protection from mishap for those away from home, comfrey became known as the "guardian of travelers."

The plant contains alkaloids that make comfrey rootunsafe for internal use, but may be used to produce infused oils, creams and other topical products.

Use powdered comfrey root alone or in combination with other herbs to make infused oils, soaps, lotions, liniments and salves.

SAFETY Do not use on broken skin or take internally.
